Wow..... that is pretty big news........doesn't smell right to me though, many Popes stayed in long after they were tired and not capable of the heavy demands. My friends in the P&R section are going to have a ball with this!

The word on the street is he has Alzheimer's you will soon see this will come out. I don't think this has anything to do with a Sex scandal, as the Pope has been through a ton worse criticism......he wouldn't resign over that. I mean why now?

he was in charge of the decision to cover-up the molestation of children as he was at the helm of the Catholic Congress.

This man was JP2's Pitbull, that was his nickname. He is the man that immediately blamed the children when the cases of molestation began to surface. He defended the Catholic Church and blamed everyone else.

He firstly blamed children molested, then transferred Priests, then moved the offending Bishops and Archbishops to the Vatican when it was obvious that they would go to jail in Canada, the USA and Ireland.

Ratzinger, also swore allegiance to one man - Adolf Hitler when he was ensconced in the Hitler Jugend. He should never have been allowed to be anything once they found he was Hitler Jugend.

Proposal: This turns out to be an elaborate hoax planted by the Pope himself. At the end of the month, he issues a tweet that says "LOL JK STILL POPE HAHA". History forever refers to it as the Pope-a-Dope.
